New Grower Green O matic, need a little advice

[KYGrow]

So I have some auto's going, Green o matic, auto sweet mango, auto critical jack herer and auto amnesia. But lets focus on the GOM for now, I have the general organics nutrient line, I'm using sunshine mix advance #4 and they are under T5 lights. (you can see a video of all of it here http://youtu.be/Sof5o2S2tqA) what I need is just some general advice on nutrients,i.e. when do I start flower nutes? should I try to follow the mfg schedule but just shorten the schedule? any help would be appreciated.

PS. the flower room you see in the video is now vacant so I'm moving the auto's in there. Should I leave the HPS in or put the hetal halide back in? the plants are now on day 17 and have pistils.

I haven't used your nutes or soil but in general don't feed for 3 weeks and start with 1/4 strength nutes for autos. Use veg. nutes until vertical growth stops week 4-6 then switch to flower nutes.
Others here use those nutes and soil and should be along to offer more specific advice

Is this your first Auto grow? Man oh man you picked some really great strains! Grew out the GOM myself, gotta say had no idea but the GOM will go purple near the end.. Also I think the GOM should at least go a few more weeks from when you think it should be chopped... I held off myself and those last couple of extra weeks made a difference, I would basically skip any of the grow nutes and start off with the flowering once you see pistols... Also you got to go by the look of the plant, they'll tell you what they need... Maybe around 3 1/2 to 4 weeks give it small dose of grow nutes than the flowering ones... The GOM can take heavy feelings, very forgiven plant... And a couple month cure the smoke is GREAT! Mine went for about 11weeks from popping the soil to harvest...
I got auto amnesia coming myself... Heard nothing but great about it!
Will be watching.... Any help just hollar also a noob here but am learning

you'll want to switch to flower when all vertical growth stop's...as far as strength I'd start out at 1/4 strength every other watering ....

Thanks for the welcome bro. I just came across this site today when looking for some info/journals on these Auto strains I've started. I've def. been impressed with the knowledge within the community here. Very friendly vibe, and some beautiful plants. I'm going to have a 4 plant garden going w/ Dinafem WW, Auto Seeds #1, Auto Seeds Auto Pounder, and a Greenhouse Green-O-Matic. Can't wait to document the grow.
